Our roads are like the 1960's now

Theres a road near me on a straight stretch and its like exactly like this feickin Tour De France mountain picture graph over a three mile stretch. I don't know how some boy racer ladeens haven't bounced all over it and flipped their speedy gonzalezwagonz straight to the moon.

I must live in one of, if not the wealthiest council area in the country and it never ceases to amaze me just how ****ing awful the roads are.

There seems to be no accountability, or no control over the various people who dig up roads, fill in the hole and then within six months it has sunk and formed a pot hole.

We’ve got a nice shiny €35m euro library though and the council is very good at painting white lines down the centre of footpaths and congratulating itself on the number of cycle lanes it has “built”, but get in a car and it’s like a very bad rickety roller coaster. And don’t get me started with the councils obsession with building fuxking speed ramps....

And they wonder why 4x4s are so common.

Well, over the boarder, the roads are solidly better quality. But soon that state will no longer be in the EU.
I'd prefer to have poorer roads and stay in the EU myself.
No doubt the shinnerbots will descend on this thread soon enough after my post.

This is BS. I live in a border county and travel in NI several times every week. Northern Ireland have spent fúck all on their roads in the last 20 years. There used to be a time when travelling through the North was pleasurable but now it’s an absolute nightmare, the surface might be good but the roads have never been upgraded and are the same width today as they were a few decades ago. Main roads have no hard shoulder, are narrow and traffic is very heavy and slow. I hate travelling through NI, it’s like entering the 1970’s.

Just got my car back from a full service, ironically the road's feel better again.

My bushings were nearly metal on metal.

Feels like a new car, it's only 3 year's old, bought it second hand.

Have it a year, I knew something wasn't right.

Road with white line is Republic of Ireland, where the white line stops is Northern Ireland.[/IMG]

one thing I miss abroad are the way the little reflectors at the side change from white to green when there's a side road ahead.
